Statistics

Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samplestaken from any particular seam is normally distributed with truestandard deviation 0.77.

(a) Compute a 95% CI for the true average porosity of a certainseam if the average porosity for 16 specimens from the seam was4.85. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

  ,



(b) Compute a 98% CI for true average porosity of another seambased on 12 specimens with a sample average porosity of 4.56.(Round your answers to two decimal places.)

  ,



(c) How large a sample size is necessary if the width of the 95%interval is to be 0.49? (Round your answer up to the nearest wholenumber.)
specimens

(d) What sample size is necessary to estimate true average porosityto within 0.23 with 99% confidence? (Round your answer up to thenearest whole number.)
specimens
